Jefferson County TNGenWeb

The Jefferson County TNGenWeb site went "live" in the first week of July, 1996. Since that time, thousands of genealogists and historians have stopped by to gather information about their families and the communities.

Many of them left information for other researchers. If you have transcribed data to share, please contact the Webmistress (e-mail from the Contact Us link in the menu). Additionally, check the "Help Wanted" page to see what transcription projects are on-going.
